Diwa Industries

What Diwa Industries does

Diwa Industries S.A. is a privately held Togolese industrial corporation (société anonyme) operating in West Africa, with a postal headquarters in Lomé and a primary manufacturing facility in Blitta, Central Region, Togo. Established circa 2017 and operated as a subsidiary of the diversified OSEO KAPI Group, the company runs three interrelated product lines: (1) manufacturing of butane/LPG gas cylinders in five standard sizes (3 kg, 6 kg, 12.5 kg, 25 kg, and 50 kg); (2) cylinder requalification services that inspect and recertify used cylinders to extend service life; and (3) production of food-grade and industrial-grade carbon dioxide (CO2) for beverage carbonation, food processing, and industrial inert-gas uses. Stated annual manufacturing capacity is 500,000 to 1,500,000 new cylinders and daily requalification capacity is 1,200 to 3,600 cylinders, with third-party inspections performed by SGS and Togo's Ministry of Hydrocarbons.

The company serves four documented customer segments: domestic households using LPG for cooking and heating, industrial and commercial enterprises requiring high-volume gas supply, food and beverage manufacturers needing food-grade CO2, and chemical/metallurgical industries using inert gases. Commercial relationships span regional energy-sector partners Zener, Sodigaz, Toil, and Pegaz, and the company distributes through direct B2B sales, regional distributor networks across ECOWAS/UEMOA member states (supported by customs-duty exemption), and domestic retail outlets for small (3 kg, 6 kg) cylinders.

Revenue is generated across three streams: hardware sales of new LPG cylinders, professional services from requalification, and hardware sales of CO2. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales supplemented by event-driven activation (West Africa LPG Expo Nigeria, March 2025; Lomé International Trade Fair, November–December 2024). Diwa Industries holds ISO 9001:2015 (2022), ISO 14001:2015 (2024), and ISO 45001:2018 (2024) certifications, is a member of the World LPG Association (2023), and has been audited by TotalEnergies and Oryx. The earliest documented event in company history is a February 2021 ministerial visit to the operational Blitta site, at which point the total project investment was disclosed as 7.5 billion FCFA (~$12.2M).

Core offering

Diwa Industries manufactures butane/LPG gas cylinders in five size variants (3 kg, 6 kg, 12.5 kg, 25 kg, 50 kg) at its Blitta facility in Togo, with an annual capacity of 500,000 to 1,500,000 new cylinders. It also requalifies existing gas cylinders at a daily capacity of 1,200 to 3,600 units, extending equipment lifespan and reducing waste, and produces both food-grade and industrial carbon dioxide (CO2) for beverage, food processing, and industrial applications.

Product overview

Diwa Industries offers a portfolio of three interconnected product lines: manufacturing of new Butane/LPG gas cylinders in five size variants (3kg to 50kg), requalification services that restore and extend the life of existing cylinders (1,200–3,600 daily capacity), and production of both food-grade and industrial carbon dioxide (CO2). The manufacturing and requalification operations are designed to complement each other, with requalification providing a sustainable alternative to new production while the manufacturing line meets growing market demand. CO2 production serves as a parallel product line for food processing and industrial applications.
